    I am in agreement - leave the kitties in their own familiar surroundings - much less chance of any of them getting stressed out.

    BTW - where are we going on vacation??? - I want to make sure that I pack appropriately!

    I would vote for leaving them at your place. We've just found that our cats handle things better that way.

    I'd also say leave them at home in their own environment - but, if they get along with your mom's kitties, it would be easier for her. Then, if your mom has a car...

    In my opinion, they do need some loving every day. Of course, they won't be so bored since they have each other.

    Have you tried taking some of them over to your mom's place and see how they react?

    Good luck, and have a great holiday! Where are you going?

    Leave the cats in their own home. Cats do NOT relocate easily, as dogs do.

    I also vote for leaving them at home. Mine were SO glad when I started leaving them at home when I'd go to work on the boat. They were far more relaxed when I got home and no adjustment time back was needed.. It is so much easier on them.

    Leave them home. Far less stressful for the cats. The people understand. The cats don't.

    If you have the option of leaving them home, I'd do that. When we go on vacation I do not have that option and I have to take them to my moms (over an hour from us). Well, I haven't done that with Jax yet. He came on vacation with us last year because he was still so small.

    I'm not sure what I will do this year. My sister might be moving back in with my parents and she'd have her two dogs upstairs, which is where the cats would go.

    Have a wonderful trip!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
